If like me you like to rename uploaded images and add the time to the file name so you never end up with two images with the same name.
Watch out because you can save a file on your server using illegal characters such as a colon ":"
e.g
030363 6-01-2014 18:05:29 image.jpg
I spent ages trying to work out why my FTP program would not download the images created with PHP
I guess this might be dependent on what file system your using but it wouldn't let me download the images to a windows file system.
But I can obviously create files on my Linux server with a colon in the file name.
imagejpeg
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
imagejpeg — 输出图象到浏览器或文件。
说明
imagejpeg
( resource
$image
[, string $filename
[, int $quality
]] ) : bool
imagejpeg() 从 image
图像以 filename 为文件名创建一个
JPEG 图像。
参数
-
image -
由图象创建函数(例如imagecreatetruecolor())返回的图象资源。
-
filename -
文件保存的路径，如果未设置或为
NULL，将会直接输出原始图象流。如果要省略这个参数而提供
quality参数，使用NULL。 -
quality -
quality为可选项，范围从 0（最差质量，文件更小）到 100（最佳质量，文件最大）。默认为 IJG 默认的质量值（大约 75）。
返回值
成功时返回 TRUE， 或者在失败时返回 FALSE。
范例
Example #1 输出 JPEG 图像
<?php
// 创键空白图像并添加一些文本
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(120, 20);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91);
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, 'A Simple Text String', $text_color);
// 设置内容类型标头 —— 这个例子里是 image/jpeg
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
// 输出图像
imagejpeg($im);
// 释放内存
imagedestroy($im);
?>
以上例程的输出类似于：
Example #2 保存一副 JPEG 图像
<?php
// 创键空白图像并添加一些文本
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(120, 20);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91);
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, 'A Simple Text String', $text_color);
// 保存图像为 'simpletext.jpg'
imagejpeg($im, 'simpletext.jpg');
// 释放内存
imagedestroy($im);
?>
Example #3 以 75% 的图像质量输出图像
<?php
// 创键空白图像并添加一些文本
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(120, 20);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91);
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, 'A Simple Text String', $text_color);
// 设置内容类型标头 —— 这个例子里是 image/jpeg
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
// 使用 NULL 跳过 filename 参数，并设置图像质量为 75%
imagejpeg($im, NULL, 75);
// 释放内存
imagedestroy($im);
?>
参见
- imagepng() - 以 PNG 格式将图像输出到浏览器或文件
- imagegif() - 输出图象到浏览器或文件。
- imagewbmp() - 以 WBMP 格式将图像输出到浏览器或文件

[[Editor's note: removed the header()-call since it is not required when outputting inline image-data]]
One single code line, solve-me after 3 hours of blind search!
here is:

imagejpeg( $img, NULL, 100 );
imagedestroy( $img );
$i = ob_get_clean();

Don't be like me racking my brain for hours trying to figure out why my xxx.php file outputs http://localhost/xxx.php as a one line response.
Why?
Most likely, you have either:
1. whitespaces before or after the php tags
2. need to set header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
3. if you have required files...be sure nothing is outputted...no test print statements because page expects image information
4. there is an error in your code
in my case, it was 4. there is a reason why the function call base64decode does not work...
it's actually: base64_decode()
by the way, other ways to validate your image encoded in base64 is to use the following tag:
echo '<img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,'.$row['IMAGE'].'" alt="photo">';
I was pulling a blob encoded base 64 data from mysql database and trying to render it on a page
hope this helps someone.

I had a problem with denied permissions when trying to upload AND resize an image having safe_mode on. This caused that I couldn't create the new file in which I wanted to resampled the image with nor with imagejpeg() nor with touch() and imagejpeg() after it.
Here is my solution, I didn't test, but it's possible, it is biting some memory:
<?php
function resize($image, $target_file) {
// $image is the uploaded image
list($width, $height) = getimagesize($image['tmp_name']);
//setup the new size of the image
$ratio = $width/$height;
$new_height = 500;
$new_width = $new_height * $ratio;
//move the file in the new location
move_uploaded_file($image['tmp_name'], $target_file);
// resample the image
$new_image = imagecreatetruecolor($new_width, $new_height);
$old_image = imagecreatefromjpeg($target_file);
imagecopyresampled($new_image,$old_image,0,0,0,0,$new_width, $new_height, $width, $height);
//output
imagejpeg($new_image, $target_file, 100);
}
?>
As you can see, the function moves the uploaded file where you want to save the resampled image (move_uploaded_file is not restricted by safe_mode) and then you can resample the image, because it was created by moving it already.
Note: the directory where you want to save the file must have permissions set to 0777.

for those who get the message "permission denied" or "unable to access": it looks like a problem with your writepermissions to this folder. no matter if you use windows- or linuxserver, be sure the correct user has the permission to write to the correct folder.

I didn't find any example like this on the Web, so I mixed pieces together.. hope this will save time to other people!
Here's a complete solution to READ any image (gif jpg png) from the FILESYSTEM, SCALE it to a max width/height, SAVE the scaled image to a BLOB field keeping the original image type. Quite tricky..
<?php
function scaleImageFileToBlob($file) {
$source_pic = $file;
$max_width = 200;
$max_height = 200;
list($width, $height, $image_type) = getimagesize($file);
switch ($image_type)
{
case 1: $src = imagecreatefromgif($file); break;
case 2: $src = imagecreatefromjpeg($file); break;
case 3: $src = imagecreatefrompng($file); break;
default: return ''; break;
}
$x_ratio = $max_width / $width;
$y_ratio = $max_height / $height;
if( ($width <= $max_width) && ($height <= $max_height) ){
$tn_width = $width;
$tn_height = $height;
}elseif (($x_ratio * $height) < $max_height){
$tn_height = ceil($x_ratio * $height);
$tn_width = $max_width;
}else{
$tn_width = ceil($y_ratio * $width);
$tn_height = $max_height;
}
$tmp = imagecreatetruecolor($tn_width,$tn_height);
/* Check if this image is PNG or GIF, then set if Transparent*/
if(($image_type == 1) OR ($image_type==3))
{
imagealphablending($tmp, false);
imagesavealpha($tmp,true);
$transparent = imagecolorallocatealpha($tmp, 255, 255, 255, 127);
imagefilledrectangle($tmp, 0, 0, $tn_width, $tn_height, $transparent);
}
imagecopyresampled($tmp,$src,0,0,0,0,$tn_width, $tn_height,$width,$height);
/*
* imageXXX() only has two options, save as a file, or send to the browser.
* It does not provide you the oppurtunity to manipulate the final GIF/JPG/PNG file stream
* So I start the output buffering, use imageXXX() to output the data stream to the browser,
* get the contents of the stream, and use clean to silently discard the buffered contents.
*/
ob_start();
switch ($image_type)
{
case 1: imagegif($tmp); break;
case 2: imagejpeg($tmp, NULL, 100); break; // best quality
case 3: imagepng($tmp, NULL, 0); break; // no compression
default: echo ''; break;
}
$final_image = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $final_image;
}
?>
So, let's suppose you have a form where a user can upload an image, and you have to scale it and save it into your database.
<?php
[..] // the user has clicked the Submit button..
// Check if the user entered an image
if ($_FILES['imagefile']['name'] != '') {
$image = scaleImageFileToBlob($_FILES['imagefile']['tmp_name']);
if ($image == '') {
echo 'Image type not supported';
} else {
$image_type = $_FILES['imagefile']['type'];
$image = addslashes($image);
$query = "UPDATE yourtable SET image_type='$image_type', image='$image' WHERE ...";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if ($result) {
echo 'Image scaled and uploaded';
} else {
echo 'Error running the query';
}
}
}
?>

I came here looking for something similar to the getJPEGresolution function, but noticed the drawbacks that were pointed out in the last post. So, after drawing on some other code examples on the web, I put together the following function which should always properly return the correct values. (But remember that you still need to have the EXIF extension installed with your instance of PHP for this to work!)
<?php
function jpeg_dpi($filename)
{
if ( exif_imagetype($filename) != IMAGETYPE_JPEG ) {
return false;
} else {
$exif = exif_read_data($filename, 'IFD0');
}
$x = $y = 0;
if ( isset($exif['XResolution']) && isset($exif['YResolution']) ) {
$x = intval(preg_replace('@^(\\d+)/(\\d+)$@e', '$1/$2', $exif['XResolution']));
$y = intval(preg_replace('@^(\\d+)/(\\d+)$@e', '$1/$2', $exif['YResolution']));
}
if ( !$x && !$y && $fp = fopen($filename, 'r') ) {
$string = fread($fp, 20);
fclose($fp);
$data = bin2hex(substr($string, 14, 4));
$x = hexdec(substr($data, 0, 4));
$y = hexdec(substr($data, 4, 4));
}
if ( $x || $y ) {
return array($x, $y);
}
return false;
}
?>
This function returns an array with the x-resolution, y-resolution when they can be determined, otherwise FALSE.

Regarding the code below, it only grabs the last byte of the DPI information in JFIF-mode. I was wondering why my 300-DPI file was being reported as 44. 300 - 256 = 44 of course.

13-Sep-2008 07:57
I noticed through testing that my previous function would not always return the data requested... this is due to the fact that some cameras and software dont correctly write the DPI info in the JFIF header... So, my 2nd solution is to read the exif info (if available) and output the first non-zero value as the DPI...
<?PHP
function getJPEGresolution($filename){
if(exif_imagetype( $filename)!= IMAGETYPE_JPEG) return(false);
$outRez=array();
// Read the file
$exif = exif_read_data($filename, 'IFD0');
ob_start(); // start a new output buffer
$image = file_get_contents($filename);
// grab DPI information from the JPG header
$outRez["xDPI"] = (int)(ord($image[15])>0? ord($image[15]) : $exif['XResolution'] );
$outRez["yDPI"] = (int)(ord($image[17])>0? ord($image[17]) : $exif['YResolution'] );
ob_end_clean(); // stop this output buffer
//correct output if header doesn't contain dpi info:: use exif info instead
$outRez["xDPI"] = ($outRez["xDPI"]>0? $outRez["xDPI"] : $exif['THUMBNAIL']['XResolution'] );
$outRez["yDPI"] = ($outRez["yDPI"]>0? $outRez["yDPI"] : $exif['THUMBNAIL']['YResolution'] );
//double check values; make sure it's just a number and not "72/1" ...
if(!is_numeric($outRez["xDPI"])) $outRez["xDPI"] = (int)substr($outRez["xDPI"], 0, strpos($outRez["xDPI"],"/",1));
if(!is_numeric($outRez["yDPI"])) $outRez["yDPI"] = (int)substr($outRez["yDPI"], 0, strpos($outRez["yDPI"],"/",1));
//xDPI and yDPI should equal in value... but we output both anyway...
return($outRez);
}//end function getJPEGresolution
?>

For those looking to grab the resolution of a JPEG image without using GD nor ImageMagic... I wrote this simple function.
Too bad GD doesn't have this very simple function for us to use...
<?php
function getJPEGresolution($filename){
$outRez=array();
// Read the file
ob_start(); // start a new output buffer
$image = file_get_contents($filename);
// grab DPI information from the JPG header
$outRez["xDPI"] = ord($image[15]);
$outRez["yDPI"] = ord($image[17]);
ob_end_clean(); // stop this output buffer
//xDPI and yDPI should equal in value... but we output both anyway...
return($outRez);
}//end function getJPEGresolution

I worked out a script that allows the transfer of alphanumeric data to be placed on an image. The HTML feature is img src and the php feature is imagettftext. This simple code will increment from 1 to 3 on images.
code:
<?php
//ImageCall.php -- This script will call a script to produce the image.
for($next = 1;$next < 4; $next++){
print "Image $next:<br>";
print "<img src = 'Image.php?\$text=$next'>";
print "<br><br>";
}
?>
<?php
//Image.php -- This script creates a square image and places the text on it.
// image size and color
$im = ImageCreate(77,77);
$color1 = ImageColorAllocate($im,0x66,0xCC,0x00);
$color2 = ImageColorAllocate($im,0x33,0x66,0x00);
$color3 = ImageColorAllocate($im,0x00,0x99,0x00);
$color4 = ImageColorAllocate($im,0x3D,0x3D,0x3D);
// image creation
ImageFilledRectangle($im,1,1,76,76,$color1);
ImageFilledpolygon($im, array (76,1,1,76,76,76),3,$color2);
ImageFilledRectangle($im,5,5,72,72,$color3);
// determine numeric center of image
$size = ImageTTFBBox(45,0,'impact',$_GET['$text']);
$X = (77 - (abs($size[2]- $size[0])))/2;
$Y = ((77 - (abs($size[5] - $size[3])))/2 + (abs($size[5] - $size[3])));
//places numeric information on image
ImageTTFText($im,45,0,($X-1),$Y,$color4,'impact',$_GET['$text']);
//returns completed image to calling script
Header('Content-Type: image/png');
Imagejpeg($im);
?>

For those whom needs other dpi image than the GD library, just do the following:
<?php
//Get jpeg image contents
ob_start();
imagejpeg($image, "", 100);
$image = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
//Or read jpeg image
$image = file_get_contents($file);
//Replace header image info to set DPI as units and the density for X and Y
//First parameter are units for X and Y densities (0x00 No units, 0x01 DPI, 0x02 DPC)
//Second parameter is the X density
//Third parameter is the Y density
$image = substr_replace($image, pack("Cnn", 0x01, 300, 300), 13, 5);
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.basename($file).'"');
echo $image;

The following was developed using Mac OSX ( Linux ). The ghostscript call would have to be changed on a Windows box...
In an application I was developing, I needed to create .jpg thumbnails from .pdf uploaded files. After some research, I found one easy way to accomplish this was ( SIMPLIFIED ):
<?php
exec("sw/bin/gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=jpeg
-sOutputFile=test.jpg theFile.pdf");
?>
This of course assumes that ghostscript is installed on the server, you have permissions, yada...
Essentially this calls on ghostscript to do the conversion.
So, then, once the new .jpg is created, it needed to be resized to accomodate the UI. Though I could easily do it from the command line with "convert", I was having issues using this command from PHP ( it's not my first language ). I found this thread while groping for a different method, and found an unworkable solution that stimulated me to write the following:
( commented out lines were for debug, but might prove instructional for your own purposes, so I left them in )
[This function takes in a .jpg file to be converted to a thumbnail, the new width you want the thumbnail to be, and the name to which you want the thumbnail saved. It then creates the thumbnail]
<?php
function createImage( $upload, $newWidth, $name )
{
if (!$info = getimagesize($upload) )
return false;
//echo "width: " . $info[0] . "<br/>";
//echo "height: " . $info[1] . "<br/>";
//create crude aspect ratio:
$aspect = $info[0] / $info[1];
$newHeight = round( $newWidth/$aspect );
//echo "$newHeight <br/>";
$src = @imagecreatefromjpeg("$upload");
if ( !$src )
return false;
$tmp = @imagecreatetruecolor( $newWidth, $newHeight );
imagecopyresampled( $tmp, $src, 0, 0, 0, 0, $newWidth,
$newHeight, $info[0], $info[1] );
imagejpeg( $tmp, $name, 100 );
imagedestroy( $src );
imagedestroy( $tmp );
return true;
}
?>
$upload = the path to the file you want to make a thumbnail from.
$newWidth = the width of your thumbnails.
$name = the path ( including name ) of the thumbnail you're creating.
If I have test.jpg in my servers root directory, and I want a thumbnail
with a width of 120 pixels, with the name thumb.jpg also to be saved
in the servers root directory, I'd call this function thus:
<?php
createImage("test.jpg", 120, "thumb.jpg");
?>
I hope this makes life easier for somebody.

Here is a function to resize an image and maintain aspect ratio. It will resize jpeg, gif or png and could easily be modified to add bmp. The name field is the destination of the file minus the file extension:
<?php
//name= filename minus type
function createImage($uploadedfile,$newWidth,$name)
{
// Capture the original size of the uploaded image
if(!$info=getimagesize($uploadedfile))
return false;
switch ($info['mime'])
{
case 'image/jpeg':
$src = imagecreatefromjpeg($uploadedfile);
break;
case 'image/gif':
$src = imagecreatefromgif($uploadedfile);
break;
case 'image/png':
$src = imagecreatefrompng($uploadedfile);
break;
default:
return false;
}
//Change the filename to add the filetype
$mime=split("image/",$info['mime']);
$filename=$name.".".$mime[1];
$size = getimagesize($uploadedfile);
$newHeight=aspect_ratio($size[0],$newWidth,$size[1]);
$tmp=imagecreatetruecolor($newWidth,$newHeight);
// this line actually does the image resizing, copying from the original
// image into the $tmp image
imagecopyresampled($tmp,$src,0,0,0,0,$newWidth,$newHeight,$info[0], $info[1]);
switch ($info['mime'])
{
case 'image/jpeg':
imagejpeg($tmp,$filename,100); //100 is the quality settings, values range from 0-100.
break;
case 'image/gif':
imagegif($tmp,$filename,100); //100 is the quality settings, values range from 0-100.
break;
case 'image/png':
imagepng($tmp,$filename); //100 is the quality settings, values range from 0-100.
break;
}
imagedestroy($src);
imagedestroy($tmp); // NOTE: PHP will clean up the temp file it created when the request
// has completed.
return true;
}
if(!createImage($uploadedfile,100, "uploaded_images/imgname"))
{
echo "error";
}

[Editor's note: fixed according to the note of roberto at ilpiola.it]
I could not find any information on changing the DPI information on a JPG file using the GD lib. Since changing this does not resize or scale the actual image, it is only a header-setting.
The following snipplet will save your $image to $file and set the DPI to 150.
<?php
imagejpeg($image, $file, 75);
// Change DPI
$dpi_x = 150;
$dpi_y = 150;
// Read the file
$size = filesize($file);
$image = file_get_contents($file);
// Update DPI information in the JPG header
$image[13] = chr(1);
$image[14] = chr(floor($dpi_x/256));
$image[15] = chr( $dpi_x%256);
$image[16] = chr(floor($dpi_y/256));
$image[17] = chr( $dpi_y%256);
// Write the new JPG
$f = fopen($file, 'w');
fwrite($f, $msg, $size);
fclose($f);
?>
P.s. not fully tested (yet) but it works for my images ...

I did an experiment with the image quality parameter of the imagejpeg() function when creating jpegs. I found the optimal image quality with file size is taken into account to be 80 - very close to the default value of 75.
Anything over 80 results in an unnecessary increase in file size without much increase in image quality.

Here is sample function that creates thumbnail of source JPEG file. Thumbnail wil be in square form (with and height are the same), and original image cropped to fit in.
Parameters:
$p_thumb_file - name of the file (including path) where thumb should be saved to
$p_photo_file - nam of the source JPEG file (including path) thatthumbnail should be created of
$p_max_size - with and height (they will be the same) in pixels for thumbnail image
$p_quality - quality of jpeg thumbnail
<?php
function photoCreateCropThumb ($p_thumb_file, $p_photo_file, $p_max_size, $p_quality = 75) {
$pic = @imagecreatefromjpeg($p_photo_file);
if ($pic) {
$thumb = @imagecreatetruecolor ($p_max_size, $p_max_size) or die ("Can't create Image!");
$width = imagesx($pic);
$height = imagesy($pic);
if ($width < $height) {
$twidth = $p_max_size;
$theight = $twidth * $height / $width;
imagecopyresized($thumb, $pic, 0, 0, 0, ($height/2)-($width/2), $twidth, $theight, $width, $height);
} else {
$theight = $p_max_size;
$twidth = $theight * $width / $height;
imagecopyresized($thumb, $pic, 0, 0, ($width/2)-($height/2), 0, $twidth, $theight, $width, $height);
}
ImageJPEG ($thumb, $p_thumb_file, $p_quality);
}
}

Just wanted to mention that the create_thumbnail script below fails on uppercase filenames. Many cameras default to IMG_XX.JPG and since strpos is case sensitive it fails.
I changed all the strpos to stripos and it worked wonderfully.

Here's another on-the-fly thumbnail creation script.
When I scripted the pictuerviewer on my page, I had all the pictures only in full size and qualit, because I wanted the posibility für visitors to download the pictures.
But as Imagesizes of more than 4 MP are to large for websites, I created thumbnails and the smaller pictures on the fly. But I found out, that the Script needed too much RAM, especially in the thumbnail overview, when I had more then 50 thumbnails to create on the fly at the same time.
So I modified my image creator and my viewer to let them store images, that are created. So only the first visitor has to wait (which is usually me for controlling the uploads und updates), all other visitors get the stored images, which is much faster.
Create different folders. I have a main folder called 'imagesdb' and the tree subfolders full (Full quality images), show (images for the picture viewer) and thumb (for thumbnails in overview).
Store the script for example as image.php and link it like that:
<?PHP
$image_name = "foo.jpg";
$style = "show";
// I've taken the foldernames. It's easier. For the
//thumbnails replace "show" with "thumb".
$image_name = "imagesdb/$style/$image_name";
if(!file_exists($image_name))
$image_name = "image.php?image_name=$image_name&style=$style";
// only if file doesn't exist call the on-the-fly creating file
?>
Now the main script, stored in the file image.php:
<?PHP
$image_name = $_GET['image_name'];
$style = $_GET['style'];
// Now set the maximum sizes to the different styles.
// You may set additional styles, but remember to
// create the according subfolders.
switch($style) {
case "show":
$max_size = 800;
break;
case "thumb":
$max_size = 125;
}
$dest_file = "imagesdb/$style/$image_name";
// set output file
$image_file = "imagesdb/full/$image_name";
// set source file
$size = getimagesize($image_file);
// get original size
if($size[0] > $size[1]) {
$divisor = $size[0] / $max_size;
}
else {
$divisor = $size[1] / $max_size;
}
// to get allways pictures of the same size, which ist
// mostly wanted in imageviewers, look what ist larger:
// width or height
$new_width = $size[0] / $divisor;
$new_height = $size[1] / $divisor;

As this website helped me for several times in the past and for creating this script, I hope I can help others with this script saving the time for developing a much more performant solution than an allways-on-the-fly-creating script.

Thanks to Stuart and Darren for the corrections to the create_thumbnail function. Another note on that function: imagecreatefromwbmp was incorrectly used. WBMPs are wireless bitmaps, not windows bitmaps (thanks to clambert at whitecrown), so the thumbnail routine as is will not be able to handle windows bitmaps. See the notes at http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecreatefromwbmp.php for tips on working with windows bitmaps.

Thanks to Chris dot Calo for the thumbnail snippet. The file type issue is easily resolved by getting the type from the file with getimagesize, and you can handle unsupported types at that stage too. Thus:
list($img_width,$img_height, $type) = getimagesize($source_file); // Get the original dimentions
if ($type != 1 && $type != 2 && $type != 3 && $type != 15) { die("Your file is not a supported format"); }
...and then later check the type again to open the image correctly:
if ( $type == 1 ) { $img_source = imagecreatefromgif($source_file); }
else if ( $type == 2 ) { $img_source = imagecreatefromjpeg($source_file); }
else if ( $type == 3 ) { $img_source = imagecreatefrompng($source_file); }
else if ( $type == 15 ) { $img_source = imagecreatefromwbmp($source_file); }

With regard to chris.calo's code:
// The following block retrieves the source file. It assumes the filename extensions match the file's format.
if ( strpos($source_file,".gif") ) { $img_source = imagecreatefromgif($source_file); }
if ( (strpos($source_file,".jpg")) || (strpos($source_file,".jpeg")) )
... etc.
It assumes more than that, namely that the filename does not contain the strings '.gif', '.jpg', '.jpeg', '.bmp', or '.png' *anywhere* in the string. Some valid files with special filenames could break this; for example, a file named "used.to.be.a.png.file.gif" would cause this script to attempt to load the file as a PNG. Obviously this is a rare case, but the issue could be easily avoided by using "else ifs" (uses less CPU time) or checking that the extension abuts the end of the string or both.
That said, the whole business could be avoided if PHP didn't clutter the namespace with different functions to do the same thing with different image formats. Ick.

Regarding Carl Gieringer's comment, it is possible to have PHP files in utf-8. Just make sure the editor does not output BOM, which is unnecessary in utf-8 anyway.
Except for any editors from Microsoft, most programmer's editors that supports utf allows you to surpress BOM.

in addition to my THUMBNAIL GENERATOR script:
i forgot to say, src path must not be http:// but server path (e.g. for some linux server: src=/home/users/user1/public_html/images/image1.jpg) or relative path, as in example in script (src=test.jpg, src=../test.jpg, src=pictures/test.jpg...)

Hi
I had similar problem with safe mode. My solution is:
before imagejpeg(), touch() etc.
write:
ini_set(safe_mode,Off);
and after everything:
ini_set(safe_mode,On);
strange, but it works

If imagejpeg brings up this warning:
Warning: imagejpeg(): Unable to access data ...
it could be a problem with "Safe Mode". A solution could be to touch the new file before, like:
touch($newfile);
imagejpeg($image_p, $newfile, 100);

So.. after messing around with this beast of a function for hours, I discovered that it DOES NOT preserve the resource it is using the create the image, nor do imagepng() or imagegif(). By this I mean that you can not run two imagejpeg(), imagepng() or imagegif() calls on the same resource. Another possibly undocumented quirk... :-(

Please note that there is a bug report open for the currently broken safe_mode behaviour on this function:
http://bugs.php.net/?id=35060
According to the PHP staffer who has responded the docs are wrong (I don't agree but I'm also not their employee).
The work around is to use touch() (or any other file system function that can do this) to create the file first before using imagejpeg().

i had the same problem as tobylewis had
when i tried to call imagejpeg(), width porperly parameters given it displayed
imagejpeg(): Unable to access usr/home/public_html/pic1.jpg
imho if not correctly configured server this function is not allowed to create the file on disk.
the workaround however is if you create the file using some other function, before call imagejpeg(). something like this
<?
$fh=fopen($file_name_dest,'w');
fclose($fh);
imagejpeg($dest,$file_name_dest, $quality);
?>

>>Bram Van Dam's
note below is missing "()" from the ob_end_clean call:
ob_end_clean; // stop this output buffer
should read
ob_end_clean(); // stop this output buffer
You can then use this for adding content-length headers (for example flash requires a content length in advance to create loaders)
e.g.
...
ob_start(); // start a new output buffer
imagejpeg( $newimage, "", 90 );
$ImageData = ob_get_contents();
$ImageDataLength = ob_get_length();
ob_end_clean(); // stop this output buffer
header("Content-type: image/jpeg") ;
header("Content-Length: ".$ImageDataLength);
echo $ImageData;

Every script I was writing was giving me an error.
When writing the following code I was able, as a client, to browse the website and save the images (Save image as...) with IE. Yet with Firefox and family the browser tried to save them as 'script_name.php' instead of 'image_name.jpg'.
<?php
header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
imagejpeg($image,'',100); // Output to Browser
?>
After trying to save all the watermarked images or saving the image as 'temp.jpg' before outputing it to user, I've read this topic on BugZilla that advised to add the following header:
<?php
header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=image_name.jpg"); // THIS ONE
?>
Sorry about the English.

If you wish to capture the jpg data into a variable, rather than outputting it or saving it into a file (perhaps so you can put it in a database), you might want to consider output buffering. Something along these lines should work:
<?php
ob_start(); // start a new output buffer
imagejpeg( $newimage, NULL, 100 );
$ImageData = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean; // stop this output buffer
?>

Rewrote the manual example into this function for creating a thumbnail image:
function thumbnail_jpeg ($original, $thumbnail, $width, $height, $quality) {
list($width_orig, $height_orig) = getimagesize($original);
if ($width && ($width_orig < $height_orig)) {
$width = ($height / $height_orig) * $width_orig;
}
else {
$height = ($width / $width_orig) * $height_orig;
}
$image_p = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg($originial);
imagecopyresampled($image_p, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $width, $height, $width_orig, $height_orig);
imagejpeg($image_p, $thumbnail, $quality);
return;

When displaying an image using imagepng or imagejpeg, you may want/need to call "header("Content-type: image/jpeg")" before the imagepng and imagejpeg functions.
It appears that some servers/browers are striping out the default header so the image is not rendered and appears as raw data.
(Firefox 1.02+ and OSX Safari for example)

I have changed one line in the script of Kokesh
25-Jun-2004 06:42 listed above, and now it generates better quality thumbnails.
You have to change function imagecopyresized() to imagecopyresampled()
10-Sep-2004 08:40
For best results, use only loss-less file formats (such as PNG) for storing images or image parts that you later intend to output with this function.

Here is the simple, but powerful script for creating thumbnails on the fly.
You can include the script
directly to www page - just put it in <img src= tag.
with width 150pix.
This resizer respects the ASPECT RATIO.
Here is the script:
<?php
// Use it this way: resize.php?pic=imageurl&width=width_in_pixels
// kokesh@kokeshnet.com 2004
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
$im = imagecreatefromjpeg($pic);
$orange = imagecolorallocate($im, 220, 210, 60);
$px = (imagesx($im) - 7.5 * strlen($string)) / 2;
$old_x=imageSX($im);
$old_y=imageSY($im);
$new_w=(int)($width);
if (($new_w<=0) or ($new_w>$old_x)) {
$new_w=$old_x;
}
$new_h=($old_x*($new_w/$old_x));
if ($old_x > $old_y) {
$thumb_w=$new_w;
$thumb_h=$old_y*($new_h/$old_x);
}
if ($old_x < $old_y) {
$thumb_w=$old_x*($new_w/$old_y);
$thumb_h=$new_h;
}
if ($old_x == $old_y) {
$thumb_w=$new_w;
$thumb_h=$new_h;
}
$thumb=ImageCreateTrueColor($thumb_w,$thumb_h);
imagecopyresized($thumb,$im,0,0,0,0,$thumb_w,$thumb_h,$old_x,$old_y);
imagejpeg($thumb,"",90);
imagedestroy($thumb);

I came across a problem where Internet Explorer refused to cache some dynamically created images. To get round this, send out a Last-Modified header.
Eg:
<?php
header('Last-Modified: '.gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', $timestamp).' GMT');
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
imagejpeg($photo);
?>

A word of warning when outputting images to the browser...
Make sure there is no extra spaces around the <?php ?> tags, in the file you are editing, and also any included files.
I began to think there was a bug in GD or something, and I checked the file I was working on, but forgot about the includes...
Hours gone..

Don't forget that JPEG compression has artifacts! And they're not all really obvious. The PHP JPEG compression is pretty decent, but it seems to generally:
-Lighten the image overall, by a reasonable amount (never seen this before, but it will drive graphic designers crazy, you might want to darken the image before compressing it)
-Reduce saturation, especially with images with lots of points of different color within a few pixels of each other (this is a documented feature of JPEG)
-Seriously mess with blue colors, which is common to all JPEG but really annoying in some situations with blue and black or other detailed blue parts
You might want to consider using imagepng() and outputting a PNG image instead of a JPEG if any of the above affect you, or your image is not very photo-like. Sometimes I have an algorithm compare JPEG to PNG for an image and send the smaller version to the user.
Also, when using imagepng(), you should use imageinterlace() before it 95% of the time. Interlaced JPEGs load progressively, improving in quality as the image loads, so users on slower connections see the whole image at low quality. All this happens without affecting the file size (actually, sometimes the file size is smaller!) or final quality.
Hope this helps a few people out. It's not all that obvious without lots of playing around.

Rather than using the temporary file, as described above, you can buffer the output stream. Someone else showed me this, and it seems to work very nicely.
//Start buffering the output stream
ob_start();
// output the image as a file to the output stream
Imagejpeg($im);
//Read the output buffer
$buffer = ob_get_contents();
//clear the buffer
ob_end_clean();
//use $buffer as you wish...

In regards to adding images (or any other binary file) to a database, unless you absolutely *have* to, a MUCH better solution is to simply save the file you create to a directory and update your database with a URL to this file.
When I first started DB development I was hung up with BLOBs and how to make them effectively work with PHP but realized that they can severely impact performance and you also limit what you can do with those files once they're inside the DB.
If you can avoid using BLOBs, and most people can, then by all means just create a look-up table for your file urls and save them to a directory to store the files. File access and scalability will be greatly increased in most cases.

Looks like any specified resolution settings in a JPEG file get lost when using imageJPEG() function in a script.
I had a high resolution JPEG which i added text to with imagestringup() so my customer can print the emailed JPEG as a filled form, but printing both Graphics from Photoshop revealed that any JPEG created is downsampled to 72 dpi, while width and height is kept.
(72 dpi is the standard web resolution)
Nothing to wonder about, but maybe if you read this you dont need to scratch your head :)
